Project Details
Description
‘An Oral History of British Nuclear Test Veterans’ employs a life history method to record interviews with air force, army, civilian and naval personnel who served in British nuclear trials in the 1950s and 60s.
The interview recordings will be deposited with our project partner, National Life Stories of the British Library. The interviews will be hosted open access on British Library Sounds, where they will form the first test veteran archive of their kind, preserving the experiences and memories of the veterans for the benefit of posterity. The project will also produce eight interactive essays, teaching resources and a film that reflects the life history ethos of the project.
Outputs comprise an open access oral history archive of 40 life history interviews on British Library Sounds; eight interactive essays on the National Life Stories website; teaching plans and resources for A Level and GCSE; three life history films; several articles, book chapters and a monograph by Dr Fiona Bowler.
